Orbea Oiz 29 M-LTD (2017)

Orbea's Oiz 29 M-LTD is light, focused, and decked out for XC domination. Crafted from Orbea Race carbon, the featherweight frame is incredibly stiff and responsive. The 100mm-travel Fox 32 Float FIT4 fork is outfitted with technology that lets you electronically tune and/or lock-out your suspension without taking your hands off the bars. A Fox DPS in the rear matches that tech, and is paired with Orbea's ultra-efficient suspension to keep this rig glued to the ground with phenomenal traction. And of course, for a bike of this level, both front and rear squishy bits have Kashima coating for buttery-smooth performance.

The high-tech componentry continues with SRAM's groundbreaking XX1 Eagle 12-speed drivetrain providing electronically smooth, perfect shifting. Mavic's Crossmax Pro carbon wheels are light, stiff, and eager to rip through corners and up the gnarliest climbs, while Avid Ultimate Carbon hydraulic brakes provide phenomenal stopping power. Adding to this incredible package, the Oiz 29 M-LTD is spec'd with FSA's ultra-light bars, stem, and seatpost, as well as Selle Italia's comfortable XC Gel Flow saddle.
